"pkg-resources==0.0.0" error

[davidsaroff]

Trying to follow your "hit the ground running"

install all required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

produces the error

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 54)) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 54))

taking a look at requirements.txt, line 54 in fact indicates a 0.0.0 version for pkg-resources.

Hello. Thank you so much for bringing this bug to my attention. After doing some research I came to the conclusion that this is an error caused by Ubuntu, which gives PIP incorrect data - you can read more about it here and here. It seems that the correct solution in this situation is to supplement this line with requirements.txt - and that's what I did. If this operation causes any further errors I will reopen the issue, but in the meantime I consider the bug resolved.
